Inside this 304-page home medical book, you will discover the DIY medical procedures and vital medical supplies you need to have on hand to take care of common health problems and emergencies at home, while waiting for an ambulance to arrive or in the next crisis when doctors and medicines may be hard to come by.

Dr. Maybell, one of the authors, is known for developing new, ingenious methods of treating her patients after Venezuela's economy collapsed and hospitals and pharmacies ran out of medicines, supplies, electricity, and even running water.

This survival medicine book offers you practical ways to recognize and deal with common medical problems using simple methods and supplies most households can keep on hand.

Here is just a glimpse of what you will learn:

• How to offer medical first aid during emergencies while waiting for medical help to arrive, including what to do in the critical first minutes that can make all the difference.
• How to recognize dangerous symptoms early, so you can act quickly and protect yourself and your family when professional medical care is delayed or unavailable.
• A practical understanding of common health problems affecting every major part of the body, from the head, eyes, ears, and nose to the respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and urogenital systems, and many others.
• How to identify possible causes, understand treatment options, and help prevent common conditions using practical, easy-to-follow methods designed for everyday households.

The methods Maybell and other doctors in Venezuela invented and pioneered are now being studied and applied in conflict zones all over the world.

Many of these inexpensive procedures do not require any medical assistance as they are specifically designed to be self-applied, so they should also help anyone cut down on medical costs while things are still OK.
